I have already a "tests" folder inside my Source Files. For me to be able to run unit tests I map the tests folder as "Test Folder" inside my Project Properties. There's no download/upload links inside the "Test Files" folder. Also "Test Files" folder is shown under "Project" tree next to Source Files, not inside "Source Files". I already saw https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196213 which covers some portions of this. I already have a folder for this that I need to map, not going to change the directory structure for this to work, but it's a pain not being able to have unit tests and/or download/upload support.
Definitely not a defect, it works as designed. But we can have a look at it for the next release (preferably if there are some votes here ;) but as I wrote, the upload/download could likely work only if Test Files are underneath Source Files (otherwise it is not clear where to upload/download them). Thanks.
Just to make this clear. I have a remote project. Inside that project there are source files including "tests" folder which has the unit tests. I need to be able to map that existing folder inside source files to a "Test Files" so I could run unit tests locally and to be able to upload updated unit tests back to the remote source.
